Functional Screening

Understand how theworker moves.

Functional screening adds another perspective to workplace decisions by assessing how an individual performs defined movements — complementing, rather than replacing, information about what the job requires.

More context. Better decisions.Functional screening complements job-demand information; it does not replace it.

Two different questions

Job demands tell you about the work. Screening tells you about movement.

A physically demanding role may require frequent squatting, reaching or overhead work. Functional screening helps add information about how an individual performs fundamental movements relevant to those demands.

Movement quality & capability

Capture objective information from defined movement tasks rather than relying only on subjective observation.

Repeatable screening

Use a consistent process across employees, locations or stages of the employee lifecycle.

More informed matching

Use screening alongside current job-demand information to improve the context around job-fit decisions.

How it works

A simple digital workflow with actionable output.

01

Invite

Send the participant the appropriate MotionTrack6 screening workflow.

02

Complete

Movements can be completed remotely or within an organization-supported process.

03

Review

Use objective movement information and scores as one source of workplace decision support.

04

Connect

Where appropriate, compare the screening context with job-demand information or other workplace data.

Where it fits

Use functional screening across key workforce moments.

Pre-employment

Use role-specific job demands and a defined screening process to support more informed pre-employment decisions.

Return to work

Add functional movement information to current job demands and professional restrictions where appropriate.

Injury prevention

Identify movement themes that may guide proactive support, education or deeper assessment.

Job matching

Compare the demands of roles with appropriate functional information to add structure to job-fit discussions.

Workforce programs

Use consistent screening across locations or teams where a standardized movement workflow is valuable.

Reassessment

Repeat screening over time when a program requires an updated view of functional movement.

Functional screening in practice

A screening workflow shaped around real recruitment needs.

Drake International Australia worked with Longitude6 to help shape, test and embed MotionTrack6 into recruitment workflows, bringing objective movement information into a practical screening process.

Built through hands-on client testing and feedback. Designed to support practical recruitment and workforce screening workflows. Uses MotionTrack6 to add objective functional movement information.

Important context

Screening supports decisions — it does not replace professional judgment.

Functional screening results should be interpreted within the purpose of the program, the actual job demands and any applicable clinical, employment, disability or legal requirements.

Is functional screening the same as a Job Task Analysis?
No. A Job Task Analysis asks what the job requires. Functional screening asks how an individual performs defined movements. The two can provide complementary information.
Can MotionTrack6 be completed remotely?
Yes. MotionTrack6 can support remote self-assessment workflows as well as organization-supported screening processes.
Should a screening score make a hiring or return-to-work decision by itself?
No. A screening result should be treated as decision-support information and interpreted with appropriate human review, job context and applicable professional requirements.
Where can I learn more about functional movement screening?
